Wimborne Market

[3] Ensor acquired fields next to the new railway station at Wimborne (which opened in 1847) for a livestock market on Tuesdays.

[10] Market traders sold fresh food, vintage and antique items, and household essentials.

[13] In 2020, it was announced that, due to high business rates and changing shopping patterns, the market would move from its then current location later that year to Lake Gates.

[14] Lake Gates is the site of a Roman fortress,[15] and is the location of weekly car boot sales, also run by the George family, who acquired the market from the Ensors in the 1970s.

In 2021, the owners of the existing market site announced that it had been sold for retirement housing to McCarthy & Stone.
